  ValueAtTime is not a function?

  Posted by Shant Dolbakian on December 10, 2020 at 11:29 pm

  Hello AE people, hoping someone can help me with this one.

  I have two rectangle shape layers. Big Rec and Small Rec.
  Big Rec size is keyframed to expand from (0,116) to (552,116) so it’s getting longer while the height stays the same.

  Now I want Small Rec just below it, to also expand at the same length but with a static chosen height, and I want it to happen some time later (delay)

  So in Small Rec Size I wrote:

  ———

  x=thisComp.layer(“BIG REC”).content(“BIG REC”).content(“Rectangle Path 1”).size[0].valueAtTime(1)

  y=78.7;

  [x,y]

  ———
  Y is working, but X is giving me an error:

  thisComp.layer()content().content().size[0}.valueAtTime is not a function.

  What am I missing?

  Try switching this:

  .size[0].valueAtTime(1)

  to this:

  .size.valueAtTime(1)[0]
